The first grow I ever did, I used Miracle Gro potting soil and it caused me all sorts of problems. Go with the any potting soil that doesn't have nutrients in it already. I've done two grows using cheap potting soil and had great results.

The problem with soils that have nutrients in them already, such as Miracle Grow, is that the nutrients are urea-based and not necessarily organic. As a result, it screws up the soil'd pH, and the nutrients are not evenly fed to the plant, which results in the plant getting randomly burnt.

If you are dead set on using soil with nutrients in it, you certainly can buy soil with organic nutrients, but it'll cost like $15/bag.

If you are still relatively new to growing, get a few successful grows under your belt, then start to experiment. Start off simple, then branch out and build upon your successes later.

another ? i also bought a bag of peat moss how much of that shuld i add in with each plant?

Don't add moss, add perlite to your soil that you buy. The moss will help rot your roots if you don't add perlite. You can add both like this if you really want the moss in it.
50% soil/25% perlite,25% peat moss(peat moss is not nessisary)

I strongly agree. If you do use Miracle Grow then look at the label. The usual run of the mill Miracle Grow is full of chemicals, that while good for other plants, are awful for cannabis. Miracle Grow organic potting soil is the shiznizzle though. Try and get it.

Hi, If I can find that around here, can you tell approx cost of the bag and
how much is in it. If you or anybodyelse has the time can you tell me
what I could add in and how much like perlite or vermiculte(I'm overall
container growing outside)I don't have anymoney to spend and I have the
perlite and vermiculite. I would like to make a mix where I don't have to
go there very often. I have water crystals, E.J grow and bloom and a few
more different liqiuid fert. I just reall need some cheap soil mixes. Thank
you and thanks to everyone else too.

Would Miracle Gro Organic garden soil work? I cant seem to find the Organic potting mix.

miracle grow is a mix that has miracle grow ferts added to a base potting mix and it is too acidic for pot plants. i would add some wood ash to raise the pH
